Punch drunk following a fight is usually a temporary condition. From your posts, you are not punch drunk. You are just living with a brain that is struggling. Your anxieties only make it worse.

My best to you.
Hey Mark, I got into worrying about if I have CTE or not again.

What makes you think I don't have CTE?

If I have CTE, then it means that my head will get start getting progressively worse immediately or after 12 to 16 years even without taking any more hits? I think that's the part that is confusing me.

Is that what it means? So if I'm getting better I don't have CTE/punch drunk? Or does it improve and then suddenly in 12 to 16 years I will start having problems?


Thanks Mark
